Alan Eade, Many thanks. As you will see below, the period in which I am interested is a bit later than his Blue mountains construction period. Thelma, Many thanks. I had not been aware of your websites, (mainly because I had only recently been targeting the Windsor/Hawkesbury area, though I have always been well aware of Wm Cox in our history) and found them interesting. My particular search is for one Edward/Edmund Markham (Mangles 1822) from end 1822 or some time in 1823. He was certainly assigned to James Byrne at Airds on arrival but either was diverted or did not stay with Byrne for long. In October 1824 he certainly commenced in the employ of John McHenry JP at Evan (Penrith), remaining with him as an overseer until 1830, well beyond his Ticket of Leave and eventual freedom. So where was he in the interim period? My only clue is the District Constable's Notebook of 1824 listing (in alpha order, alas, rather than in employer order) all names, incl Markham's, as resident in Windsor district in 1823. Given the magisterial status of Cox and McHenry, could Cox have "recommended" Markham to McHenry in 1824? A long shot!!! Hence my attempt to learn if he was ever on Cox's list. (If not I'll have to search among the other contemporary landed gentry.) So I'll be very grateful if you are able to look through your records.
